I was trained as a molecular cell biologist during my PhD, with a major focus on live cell imaging during cellular division. My postdoctoral training involved analysis of granule neuron progenitor differentiation and migration during cerebellar development. Currently, my lab is applying the zebrafish model system to study and model human ocular disease as well as analyze retinal morphogenesis. In particular, we focus on colobomata, anterior segment dysgenesis and cone-rod dystrophy. In my lab we apply cutting edge confocal microscopy, transcriptomics and genome editing techniques to better understand these disorders.
